The parade starts at 10 am at Robinwood at Collins St. (Glenwood Elementary School). We have a short detour around the Arboretum this year: see map.

This eclectic convergence of art, music, street theatre and visual wonder will proceed south through the Old West End (Robinwood, Bancroft, Collingwood) ending at Collingwood at Woodruff St. (Art Fair/Marketplace). 

The coronation of King Wamba & Queen Sancha will take place on the steps of the Toledo Museum of Art.
